A grand Garuda Sevai festival is being celebrated from the past two years as an initiative taken by the ‘Kuzhamandal’ village people along with the participation of other invited villages, close to Perunagar river.
It was told that Pesum Perumal of Kulamandal, being the host, gives special homage to each of his guests from other villages with the exchange of Deepam, coconut and cloth. This year the festival is on 27/05/2010. The festival starts in the evening from each of the villages with a Chariot procession of their respective Perumal through the village streets blessing the devotees at their door-step. The participant villages are from both the sides of Perunagar River. Each of these processions ends up at Mandapams on both sides of the river- each having their own separate Mandapams. The Battacharyas of the respective temple then do the Apisekam and Alankaram of Perumaal that will continue till late night. Early in the morning all the Chariots with Perumaals are dragged by the devotees to the sand-bed of river where they are placed in a circular pattern. . After this the Deeparadhana is performed. Later Pesum Perumal of Kuzhamandal visits each of his guests offering homage. Then the Chariots return back to their respective temples.
